31 Pages, full-color, with 14 characters fully statted out! Meet the Library, a Special Collections team known as "Black Chapter", and a handful of great NPCs to draw your players into this mysterious world! Perfect for a Supernatural campaign!! Written by Jack Norris, with art by Alex Williamson, Denise Jones, Jesse Justice, and James Dawsey!

We demo'd some of the characters from Black Chapter at AetherCon this month, and I hope to have that podcast edited and uploaded soon. For those of you who can't wait, click the link at the top of this post and go buy Black Chapter! I hope you love it as much as I do!!

Stay tuned for more news as the METAs project now goes into layout (the artwork for Issue 1 is all done)!

James will know more about this than I do but I'm under the impression that with a longer product and so no need to worry about page minimums this should be an easier shift to POD. I think (don't quote me on this one, I know that sometimes getting a print proof that meets quality standards can take some time).

I'll let you know when the POD goes on sale from CreateSpace and Amazon!

We won't be using RPGNow's interface for the time being, so there won't be a "Combo Deal" like there was for the Oktobermen... unfortunately. The back and forth with Rpgnow's interface took me a month and a half to get the last product finally done and proofed for sale, whereas we got the CreateSpace version done in 2 days plus shipping time for the print proof. I just can't keep pulling Ruben off new projects to go back and forth with them and put everything else on hold anymore. We may be "Batching" a few different products and announcing them all at once, or we may announce the Black Chapter POD next week, I don't know. I'll let you know as soon as we have news, though.

METAs Issue One won't be available as POD, as I want to collect the first three issues as one "Book" for the print version.

POD Update for Black Chapter- Uploaded the files for the Print On Demand version of Black Chapter. I'll know in 48 hours or so if the files are suitable, and then I need to order a print proof for myself to check and make sure nothing funky happens between file and printer. If everything checks out, I'll let you guys know! It could be on sale within 10 days or so (accounting for shipping). If something goes funky, it'll need to go back to Ruben who figures this stuff out.

The reviewer points out that I forgot to include the jpeg images of the characters in the Hero Lab portfolios. I'll try and update this next week, if I don't forget. Anyone who buys the file now will get an email from RPGNow / Drive Thru to let them know whenever the files get updated so they can re-download the updated files.

Fear not, however, the artwork is in the PDF so you won't be in the dark.

To celebrate the release of the Black Chapter PDF, and upcoming Print on Demand release, we’ve dropped the print on demand price for the original Due Vigilance: The Oktobermen by 4 dollars! That’s right, you can get Due Vigilance Issue 1: The Oktobermen in Print for $9.99 from CreateSpace or RPGNow and Drive-Thru RPG as of now! Check out the special combo deal at RPGNow to get the bundle with the PDF and Hero Lab files for only 4 dollars more than the book!

Feel free to nab it wherever you like, but we make a better margin from either Create Space (who Amazon gets theirs from) or RPGNow. Since Amazon gets theirs from Create Space, they take a slice of that pie, and your price is the same as getting it from Create Space. So, y'know, just in case that matters to ya.
